First things first, let's talk about my experience with TaoBaoSpree! I worked with Doris, who was extremely prompt and answered all my questions to the best of her ability. Her grasp of English was great, and she updated me on the status of my items quickly and efficiently. I really have no complaints. I definitely will use TaoBaoSpree again, and probably will want to work directly with Doris again just because of the lack of issues I had.
Even if you have never used TaoBao before, TaoBaoSpree makes it very simple to get what you want by providing you an in-depth order form, video tutorials, and the ability to answer any lingering questions thoroughly for you. It is not so scary when you have a shopping service like them.
Onto the items!

As a girl with larger legs, ankle socks are very comfortable to wear as an alternative to knee socks. I really like the selection, and the sock prices ranged from $10 - 13 USD. A few of them are sheer, and I really like the different patterns I was able to choose from. They were more or less the same quality as each other. In comparison to my brand socks, they were lesser quality (but not by much), and were better quality than a pair of socks from my local retail store.

I decided to try out a star clip, and I think I am going to sell it! It does not really fit my style and I cannot figure out what to pair it with, since most of my wardrobe is Gothic. This comes off too Sweet no matter what I do. Quality wise in comparison to Chocomint it is nearly identical; I could not tell the difference between them. This was a little under $6 USD for me.

I purchased 5 bags from Loris because they were ridiculously cheap and I really needed some proper basic Lolita fashion specific bags to go with my ever expanding wardrobe. The 5 bags cost me in total roughly $77 USD. That is not an exaggeration! Typically, you see them going for that cost for just one bag, so this was a complete steal to me.
My main reason for going with Loris was because I had been searching for quite a while for the Milk heart shaped bags, which I feel like I could never find! I tried auctions and second hand, threw up want-to-buy posts on various sites, and just could not find the bags I wanted. So instead, I opted for the Loris heart shaped bag look alike. When I looked through the rest of their bag section, I saw so many low priced cute bags, I decided to snatch those up as well.

Rectangle Bag with Small Bow
The rectangle bags I would give a 4/5, only because I was not happy with the front bow. It is a bit flimsy and I feel like it might fall off if I hit it the right way. The smaller bow bags I would give a 5/5 - no issues with them at all construction-wise, and I really enjoy the shoulder length strap so I can wear it across my body. The heart shaped bag I would give a 5/5 as well, but I really want one of the those Milk bags. I would most likely get rid of this one as soon as I can get a Milk bag replacement!
